new beginnings

today starts the beginning of many new things. i officially began my new job up in the student success center with promotions and introducing ourselves to the incoming students along with our first staff meeting. i will be a student assistant/tutor working around 10 hours a week in there. being with a brand new department is both exciting and difficult at the same time. we are starting from scratch and since i like structure so much, it's stretching for me. this week also starts classes, the end of my time at banana republic and i'm figuring out how i am going to balance my time with being married, working two jobs (i will also nanny three afternoons a week), taking correspondence classes and having a social life. it's a bit overwhelming at the moment, but i know that God will take care of me and help me get through it all one day at a time. but, the most exciting news of the day is that nick has the job at 3M! afer waiting forever to find out. this means a change in his schedule where he will be home for dinners finally (i'm really pumped about that) and double his current salary! we will also have to go car shopping in the next two weeks because we will both be driving to work now. there is just so much taking place it's a bit crazy right now, but soon enough it will settle down and life will be somewhat normal...i hope.
